Sloth!

Did you know sloths move so slowly their fur becomes a breeding ground for butterflies, beetles, and other insects?  Actually, they move so slowly, algae grows right on top of them making their fur turn green.  Ha!  Cleaned this guy up though, just for the shoot.

First Image of the Year

I wasn't quite sure how long this exploratory series was going to last before I lost momentum. Peculiarly enough, I seem to be picking up speed. These are still only trial pieces, but fun little images to keep my wheels from rusting over the holidays.

Happy New Year!

An addition to my new series of experimentation....

                     

As I'm sure many of you do, I have plans that I am very much looking forward to between now and the new year, so it's quite likely you won't hear from me until after the ball has dropped.  If that is the case, have a Happy New Year, everyone!  Stay safe, and best wishes.

Portrait Play

Here's a little something I've been playing around with lately.  I don't quite know what I'm going for, all I know is I've been filling the most recent pages of my sketchbook with portraits of animals in costume.  Sometimes I just need to do off-the-beat transition pieces to open the doors to something a little more substantial.  This is only the first of many of these silly little portraits, I did lots of fooling around.... desperate to open those doors.  Whether or not the others make it to the blog depends on how long I can maintain my motivation for.  Time is also the enemy, as always.
